Eye Strain

Workers’ compensation claims for eye strain have increased in recent years. Employees who work in either poorly lit or overly illuminated environments may suffer eye strain. Additionally, workers who must stare at a computer screen all day are at risk for eye injuries.

If you or someone you know is suffering from eye strain because of their work environment, they may be eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits.

Treatment

Eye strain may cause victims serious eye pain, headaches, dryness, difficulty focusing, and blurred vision. If you are experiencing any of those symptoms, there are things you can do at home to help reduce the pain associated with eye strain.

• Place a cool compress over your eyes for a few minutes each day
• Use drops to moisten eyes
• Wear sunglasses when you go outside
• Position yourself 18 to 30 inches away from your monitor and reduce glare
• See an optometrist if you think you may need glasses or a new prescription
• Take vitamins A and C
• Get a good night’s sleep, as fatigue worsens eye strain

If eye strain persists, consult an optometrist.
